Today’s recipe is a twist on one of my family’s favorite meals, Hawaiian Haystacks. Since my family loves them so much and also enjoys Mexican food, I thought a Mexican version would be fun for a change. The base of this is a simple ground beef/tomato sauce. Serve the sauce over rice along with the toppings of your choice. I listed toppings I think would work, but I am sure you all can come up with even more.
I also wanted to give you an update on some upcoming appearances and book signings.
